Wow! That is quite impressive compared to the products from Apple's official partners. It'll be interesting to see how AirPower stacks up...Like others have said, I would love to see performance tests like this in the future with more of your new products.

Also as @nigelhealy mentioned, do you know why the pad is more efficient than the stand? But then the stand is more expensive than the pad...

elmo41683:

would be great to see you test with other phones aside from Apple. Like a Samsung Galaxy 8 or the new 9 coming out

Guessing they will do this when they come out with 15W PowerWaves. @AnkerOfficial mentioned they would be coming in a few months.

I'm wondering if the pad is more efficient because the stand utilizes 2 zones of charging and they overlap one another making it slightly less efficient as the full charging surface is partially blocked by the other charge coil

This does open for me an interesting topic. I had wireless charging phones from Nexus 4, 5 but their successors got expensive and jumped to OnePlus which now is DASH but not Qi.

My OnePlus 3T is getting a finnicky USB-C port, I suspect it is the slow accumulation of pushed-in dirt (it looks to the eye clean but obviously...) eventually the physical connection will fail.

This benchmark is telling me that wireless charging has evolved from the trickle charge to faster, to the point we could potentially forego the need to plug to recharge? We would then use wireless for the typical day of home/office/home and preserve using the USB-C port for the atypical Powercore need of out'n'about?

My OnePlus3T is slowly aging, I was thinking of replacing about June with a ....... TBD

The faster charging rate has gotten me to like wireless charging. As from my past post I wasn't a fan of it, but have since changed. I have a wireless 5 pad I will be writing my review on later today, I am a convert and will make sure any phone I buy now will have wireless charging. It's rate of charge, while still slower than any fast charge, is enough to maintain and keep my phone powered up

I was converted 5 years ago, then de-converted because Qi got expensive, but these performance numbers makes me think it win the debate, the Wattage is now so high the trickle-charge past usefulness is now much improved.

The "problem" if you end up owning many wireless chargers, one for bedside, one for office, one for ....

What this then beckons is a Powercore Fusion with Qi, so a combined wall charger + battery + Qi.

My phone is gracefully aging, it is 14 months old. It is showing signs where I have to power down and up to make it recognize the DASH charger. Which is fine.

Going forward, the reduced used of 3.5m ports for headphones moving to BT buds, the (hopeful) move to Qi to physical cable recharge, will make the one USB-C port both perfectly adequate and last the life of the phone.

Other pet hates are non-replaceable batteries so its hot gun for glue or tiny torq screwdrivers for unofficial battery replacements.

The disposability of current phones I find quite annoying. Wireless charging is part of the future.

Nowadays wireless charging industry has slow charging efficiency due to technical bottlenecks, and it is very sensitive to heat. Our WaveBoost utilizes high-efficiency component chipsets and fans to maximize charging speed, and 3 hours is the best record in the industry.

Without knowing the overall fan size but having an idea of how thick this product is, I would not think the noise it generates from that fan would be much. You really just need to draw away a portion of the heat, not necessarily air cool it.
